Add transitions between clips in PandaStudio

PandaStudio adds transitions between clips (light sweep, fade to black or white, flash, film burn, glitch) with an optional sound effect, placed on a cut or at the start of a new visual.

A transition marks a scene change. Drop one on a cut and it plays over the boundary so the two clips connect cleanly. The light sweep with a camera-click sound is a popular signature for marking a new segment, b-roll entrance, or the opening frame.
